i would say Bluefur!

great story! please continue!

^ Long time, no post. Good to see you.

EDIT: ..... It happened again! Wrote a huge amount of my story, and then I accidentally press something, and the computer deleted it all. I'm so pissed. >.<

CHAPTER 12:

Ruuko halted as he confronted the Mountain of Malefor. It seemed larger then what he expected. Forest just stood there, swaying her tail as the wind drifted by. Ruuko stared at the water behind him. It was green, and he couldn't imagine himself swimming in it. He was standing on a large platform, which could carry the large mountain of Malefor as if it were an ant. The platform stood around 1000 wing lengths above the ground. Around him stood tiny platforms that wound only carry one creature at a time. Ruuko turned around and rest his gaze on the mountain. It had steps all around it, and at the very top stood an opening. Ruuko guessed that was the entrance.
"Well I guess I will fly up there..... You can stand on my back." Ruuko grunted.
Unfortunately, Forest shock her head.
"It's know use. You can't fly for a heart beat up here. The wind is so powerful that it could snap your wings in half. It's best if you climb the mountain. It won't be long until we reach the top. Trust me."
Ruuko stared at her for a heart beat. He thought he could see fear flash in her eyes, but it went away to swiftly for him to make sure.


BTW, you know how Sky said that Ruuko was a "black cat" not a "black dragon"? Well, forget about that. I've decided to do something different.
*Facepalm* I REALLY need to be alot more organized. >.< Sorry about that.... D:

Oh, and Wing length is meters BTW.

To make myself even more organized, here as the list of things that the dragons say in there own language. Of course, I made it up.

Wing length = One meter.
Tail length = 1 CM
Sunrise = Dawn. Although, this would be the same in human language. xD
Moonset = Midnight
Sunfall = Sunset

If I made a mistake, please tell me right away.

Good chapter

Awesome!

Thanks. :D I was going to wright about there journey to Mountain of Malefor, but I decided not to. The good parts are coming, and I just want to get up to them already.

Forest suddenly charged through the front gate. Ruuko stared at her until her tail disappeared. He let out a heavy sigh and followed her. When he burst through the entrance, Forest was already padding up a pair of stairs that lead to a high ledge. The wooden stairs followed the mountain around, then it suddenly stopped about a couple of wing lengths infront of the ledge. He could guess that the wooden stairs weren't built properly, and they must of fallen off. He took his time to gaze around the clearing. Dried lichen hang from the walls, and puddles of water were in every corner of the cave. There wasn't much in the mountain, so Ruuko stretched out his wings and shot of up the mountain. He didn't feel any wind in his wings, and he had to flap them as hard as he could in order to reach his destination. He had to sway his legs strongly back and fourth to make enough wind so he could fly easily. To his surprise, he started to pant real hard as he landed on a wooden floor. Next to him stood a panting Forest. She seemed worn out, but her eyes blazed with determination. Ruuko knew that as long as as she was determined to get to the top, she didn't need to rest. Both Ruuko and Forest trotted across yet another entrance and padded into a large clearing. Ruuko bent his legs to rest for a couple of heart beats before he forced himself to stand back up. He could feel Forest's gaze resting on him.
I'm okay! Ruuko thought as he glanced across the clearing. It was rather a small and spacious, and drops of water drummed onto the ground around him. Dead plants were sprouted in every corner, and a small, dusty gate hung on clumsily across a cliff. Ruuko walked slowly towards it and bent his neck over the fence. He could feel the coldness of the wood pierce his throat like ice, but the feeling died off as he glanced down the cliff. He was surprise at how high he was. He could barely see the water bellow. He clumsily knocked a rock down the cliff, and it seemed like a month had passed before it reached the water. Ruuko let out a breath he didn't realize he was holding, and he trotted back to Forest.
"Which way should we go now?" Ruuko asked. He couldn't see any gap in the walls. He started to wounder how Gaul made it up the mountain.
"How about we jump onto that platform next to us?" Forest answered, pointing her stubby tail towards a circular, small platform. Her eyes were filled with amusement. "I know how thoughs things work. They use the wind and the air to move up and down. It's like a dragon's wing. Now lets hurry!"
Ruuko muttered curses to himself under his breath before he followed Forest and clawed up the platform. As the large floating stone carried them further up, Ruuko could make out other platforms spread out wide across the area. Ruuko was surprised at how many there were.
"Do we have to jump, or can I just fly?" Ruuko asked.
Forest shock her head miserably.
"I'm sure we're too high up to fly. It may not feel like it, but the wind is extremely strong. Your wings won't be able to handle it. I heard from Rockheart that many dragons have tried to reach the Mountain of Malefor just with their wings. Many were thrown back into the ocean and smashed their head open on sharp pointed rocks. Other dragon's wings were snapped in half, and some even got flung hard into a wall, smashing their spine. Only one dragon reached to the top. And that was..... a very strong dragon.... called Firefrost."
Firefrost... Ruuko thought. He knew exactly what dragon she was talking about. He wanted to asked many questions, but he knew he couldn't ask now. While they were busy talking, the platform reached to the top, then floated back down twice.
"Lets jump now, quickly!" Forest barked, jumping onto the next platform.
Ruuko jumped as soon as the platform started to float away, and he just manage to get his hind legs onto the hard rock.
They did the same for the next platform, and then the next, until they reached up to a small gap in the thick wall. Ruuko was surprise to see fresh grass sprouting and rose scented lichen hanging from underneath the ledge. His question was answered when he saw water picking it's way down a small crack in the wall infront of them.
That water must feed the lichen and grass.
Ruuko gazed around and rest his gaze on another ledge next to him. He could see a torch lighting up the small cave, and Ruuko jumped up inside it, with Forest copying his paw steps. Forest started to sniff the torch a little before letting out a squeak of terror. Ruuko spun around to see a small flame on the end of Forest's muzzle. She rubbed her nose on a large rock, and the fire disappeared into tiny sparks of flame.
Ruuko sighed and turned his head back around.
I hope you learned your lesson. Never try to catch you muzzle on fire. And never try to smell a flame.
Ruuko forced himself to trot across the small cave.

EDIT: BIG part. O.o I hope that wasn't to boring....

A very good chapter

Anymore comments?

Ruuko padded slowly across the cave until he made arrived at the end. Infront of him stood a large, grey Malefor statue. It was surrounded with tiny, sparkling flames. Ruuko felt Forest breathing on him. They both padded through the clearing, and Forest made sure she staid away from the flames this time. Ruuko saw another cave above them, and new that was their way out. Forest quickly jumped all over the statue until she was standing right at the top, and using all her effort, she pushed herself towards the cave on the other side of the wall. Her front paws hit land, and she heaved herself up with all her might. Ruuko flew up towards the cave, careful not put out any of the small flames.

Good part

Thanks. Anyone more comments?

Ruuko padded through the cave until he reached outside the mountain. Forest was infront this time.
"We reached the top." Forest barked, letting out a huge yawn.
Ruuko walked slowly to the large hole in the mountain. He could feel dark shadows surrounding the hole, and it's purple glow turned burgundy from the Celestial Moons.
Forest instantly jumped down the hole. Ruuko gulped down a pile of air before he followed her. He glided down towards the hard rock, and Forest landed next to him with a loud thump.
"Were is everyone...?" Ruuko asked. He picked his way around a group of vines and stopped at the edge. A high ledge stood in his path, and bright green water surround the ground around it. Forest was far away on the other side of the strange platform, and her head was poking inside a small hole in the wall.
"Hey! Ruuko! There is a hole in the wall right over here! It leads to another place. I can just see the other side..." Forest yelled. Ruuko turned around in time to see Forest bolting inside the tinny tunnel. Ruuko followed her, grateful that there were more of thoughs tiny sparks of flame inside the tunnel. If it weren't for them, then he wouldn't be able to work his way through. He quickened up the pace in order to catch up to Forest, ignoring the thorns that poked out everywhere. He heard voices coming from the other side, and he suddenly burst through the cave, which lead him to another large clearing. Infront of him stood Forest, and infront of her stood Gaul and his warriors.

Do you know were they were? They were at the place were Spyro fights Gaul for the first time. I hope I described it right. I haven't played TEN for a while, so I sort of forgotten what it looked like.

Good part

Anymore comments?

Awesome!

Okay, events from TEN will start to kick in on this point.

******

Astonished, Ruuko slowly padded around Forest until he stood face to face with Gaul. Surprisingly, Rockheart wasn't standing next to him like he usually did. All the beasts gave each other shocked glances, and only Gaul was calm.
"Ruuko. You're here. What took you so long?" Gaul hissed.
Ruuk froze in horror. He didn't think of an excuse for why he shot of into the bushes eariler on. He gazed at Forest helplessly, and to his surpise, her eyes were full of amusment.
"It was nothing bad. Just a couple of young dragons who were lost. Nothing special. They won't do any harm." Forest confessed. She nodded to Ruuko, a perfect sign for him to speak. Ruuko's tail twitch in fustrastion, and he his mind started to spin as he though of something to say.
"Yes, it was nothing dreadful. They're too puny to do any harm." Ruuko muttered.
Gaul nodded slowly in approvol.
"Did you scare them away?"
"Yes, we sure did! I'm sure they never saw someone so dangorouse!" Forest answered, giving Ruuko a quick nudge.
"Very well. But that is not all we're going to talk about." Gaul hissed.
Ruuko's tail pricked. What more could they talk about? They made it to the Mountain of Malefor....
"Rockheart is dead." Gaul whispered. "A gush of wind nocked him of his paws, and he cut his throat on a small wodden fence before falling down the cliff."

Hmm, Rockheart is dead...
Good chapter

"What!?" Ruuko's chocked up roar drowned Forest's small whimper. He couldn't believe it. A powerful deputy like Rockheart, letting a buff of wind kill him? "How is that even possible!? Rockheart isn't that clumsy!"
The words just shot out of his mouth like a torpedo. He felt Gaul's cold stare burn his scales, and he tried not to back away.
"Rockheart is a strong warrior, but he is very light on his fit. The strong wind came so suddenly, and he wasn't ready for it. Not to mention he was close to the edge. He surved us all well, and we shell all miss him. But, because he was our loyal deputy, that means I have to appoint a new one, and I have chosen Sharpstorm."
Ruuko couldn't believe what he was hearing. Even though he didn't like Rockheart, he will certainly miss him, but defiantly not as much as he misses his sister. He served Gaul well, and he would of made a great leader in Gaul's place. What he was happy about though, was that Sharpstorm is the new deputy. He enjoyed the advice the wise bat gave him, and not only he was wise, he was strong too for his age. Now he would be able to serve his clan well without an ape giving him a cold stare every now and then. He hated to admit it, but he is glad that Rockheart is dead.

Good part

Anyone else?

I will not right anymore until I get two more posts from different people.

Anyone!?

Remember, if you don't post, then you won't see anymore of my story. :P

D8

(filler)

I'm evil. xD

Sorry, it's just that I don't like writing stories when hardly anyone are supporting them. It's like talking to a brick wall.

Hmm, I know what you mean, I hardly got any people reading my story. But still continue on with it

I will continue it. When two more people post.

Why don't you create a link to this in your signiture

I've tried many times.

.... I guess I could try again....

Oh, and I'm going to wright a new series about snow leopards. There is one big tribe in the mountains, which is fall of snow leopards, which is were the main character lives. The tribe rules the mountains, and it's their territory. There is a leader, a deputy and a healer in the tribe. There is also a group of elders who have served the tribe for many years. Also, there is a group of ancestors that they believe in, of course. There is a mountain that is far away, and that is were the dark spirits live, who are evil and have been trying to destroy the tribe for many years. At midnight, anyone who goes there can literally see the dark spirits. It is rumored that anyone who goes there when the spirits come out, they will be engulfed in darkness. The dark spirits believe that the tribe wasn't made to be and that it should be destroyed, which means killing every snow leopard in the tribe. However, they can never harm the living. All the snow leopards from the tribe are forbidden to go to the mountain, and if one does go there, then they are considered a traitor and is no longer a member of the tribe.

The dark spirits are a group of snow leopards BTW.

The main character is called Silver (I didn't copy the name from the hedgehog. I just love the name), and he has unusual, dark purple eyes. His best friend is Krystal, a female snow leopard.

Sounds interesting, I will read that

Thanks. :D

*sighs* You know what? Screw this. I'm writing my next part now. And I guess I have to face the truth, my stories are crap ;_;

Ruuko closed his eyes as every single beast let out a soft whimper. He stuck his claws into the earth for a heartbeat before releasing them. No one felt this much pain when Cynder went missing! They didn't whimper or sob. He was the only one who missed his lost sister!
Because Cynder lost to the purple dragon. Rockheart didn't. A small voice whispered inside his head. Ruuko pushed the thought down with all his might. Ruuko couldn't take this anymore. He wanted to lie down in a soft nest.
He let out a fake yawn, trying to show how tired he is.
"Gaul.... I'm sad and all, but can I get some sleep? I will berry Rockheart at sunrise....." He realized what he just said, but it was too late to change anything.
"You DO need some sleep." Gaul laughed. "Yes. You can. However, I think you should eat first. Someone caught a squirrel for you..... I believe it was Sharpstorm. Hey, Sharpstorm, get over here!"
Ruuko glanced across the clearing until he spotted Sharpstorm, he was holding a squirrel in his jaws. It seemed plump and freshly killed, but it's tail dragged unusually, and the fur around the tail was mattered with blood. Ruuko just remembered to thank him in time before he took the squirrel from the bat's jaws. He ate large famished mouthfuls until only the tail was left. It usually filled his belly, and the strength from his legs returned. Ruuko stared at the squirrel tail, nothing this small has ever filled him up fully.
"Sharpstorm stuffed energy herbs in the squirrel, who was already plump. The squirrel was stuffing it's face with acorns, not a care in the world." Gaul replied, sensing Ruuko's amazement.
Ruuko shoved the squirrel tail towards Forest, who gave him a questioning glance.
"That's all that's left, but it's better then nothing." Ruuko laughed under his breath. He secretly wanted to see Forest eat the furry tail for his own amusement.
However, Forest took the question in the wrong way, and she nodded respectfully to him. As she choked down her small meal, Ruuko muttered curses under his breath.
"Where's the nests?" Ruuko muttered to Gaul.
"See that cave over there?" Gaul pointed to a large cave across the clearing. Sick water dripped from the roof, and Ruuko forced himself not to throw up. "Go through there, and it will lead you to the nests."
Ruuko padded away as Gaul grunted the last word. He started to realize how this clearing worked. There were caves around the clearing, each leading to something..... something important! Ruuko decided that he will explore them in the morning.

Your stories are not crap! don't say things like that
Good part

Not that much people are reading them. Heck you're the only one posting at the moment.

Oh, and my story is on Google. xD

Type in "The Slig Chronicles" in Google, it is a series of stories I made for The Oddworld Forums.

I looked it up. O.o

I can't believe it. I've tried everything to get more readers.....

Hmm, I'm out of ideas...

Right now, you're still the only one posting....

My other story is up BTW.

Awesomeness! (Finally, a new reader! )

Or I could be wrong. xD Everytime I get a new reader, I get more confident. So basically, if I had alot of readers, like about 10 or more, then I would be extremely confident all the time, and I would be writing a part to my story every five minuets. :3

Ruuko opened his eyes to revile a damp and mossy clearing. Thick clouds surrounding him, and he could barely breath. He looked around, wondering why he was here, until he spotted a brown dragon sitting in the middle of the clearing. Ruuko trotted slowly towards the glossy brown dragon, wondering what she was doing. He slowly rubbed his tail across the other dragon's back, but it didn't move.
"Err... Hey... Who are you... What am I do-" His brain suddenly clicked in, and he imediant knew who this dragon was. It was Hawkfire.
"You're Hawkfire!" Ruuko growled in shock. He had no idea why she brought him here. Rage suddenly bubbled in his stomach, and he couldn't control it. "Why do I keep on dreaming about you!? Why are you always doing.... doing strange things! This is all nonsence! NONSENCE!"
Ruuko turned around and ran away from Hawkfire. He didn't know were he was going, but he wanted to get away from her. He doesn't know what she wants with him, but he never wants to find out. Ruuko dared to turn around, and to his astonishment, he was standing right next to Hawkfire. He opened his mouth to speak, but the brown dragon spoke first.
"Ruuko.... I come to you to remind you of me. We were friends when we were younger... I know you don't remember. Dawnearth told me everything. But don't worry.... I forgive you for not telling me. Firefrost, Dawnearth and Cloudberry all know your destiny. And they want me to tell you that..." A gush of wind carried her of her feet, and her body faded away in a flash.
"What? What were you trying to tell me?! What is it! How am I supposed to know if you won't tell me!" Ruuko roared. He raised onto his hind legs and slashed his paws in the air. He wouldn't let Hawkfire get away. He knew she had so much to tell him!
"This isn't the right time... Wait until you're older.... then you will find out." A voice whispered in his ear.
Ruuko's stomach flared, and he flew up into the air. Suddenly, the fog cleared, and nothingness stood before him. Everything was mossy white, as if he was standing on a cloud. At the corner of his eye, he could see Hawkfire's dust swaying away from him.
"You're not getting away from me!" Ruuko gave chase, ignoring the instinct of turning back and escaping this night mare. Hawkfire was going to tell him something! He didn't care if he was too young to know! He had to find out.
He felt invisible thorns tug at his his skin, and blood splattered onto the ground. A death hound suddenly burst into the clearing and stood in his way, but he refused to let Hawkfire get away. In the distance, he could make out the dust he was following turn back into a beautiful brown dragon. Her blazing eyes were filled with forgiveness. Ruuko flew above the death hound's head, and he felt it's jaws clench the air right underneath his tail. He could just make out her, tail, and he forced himself to fly faster, ignoring the pain in his wings. His wings were flapping at the speed of a bullet, he knew he never flew so fast in his life. But Hawkfire was keeping at a long distance ahead of him, despite his speed. Suddenly, a large weight bowled him out of the air, knocking the breath out of him. It was a large ape, about the size of Gaul.
"I have to catch up to her!" Ruuko screeched kicking his hind legs into the large ape's stomach, sending him flying into nothingness. Ruuko impatiently got up to his paws, and ever muscle in his body screamed in protest. He winced in pain as he took up into the skies again, and he felt pain stab his wings everything they flapped. He could hear yowls of protest far behind him, as if every ape in this world were yowling at him to stop. He could see Hawkfire just ahead of him, her eyes were focused on him, he could still see forgiveness worming her eyes. Suddenly, he felt a large jolt of pain stab his wings, and he fell, down, down, down, into nothingness...

Oh no! I wonder where he fell to!

Great chapter, though.

Ruuko bolted awake, to find himself out of his nest. He was leaning upside down against a wall, and his next was on the other side of the clearing, and his tail was flopping down in his face. Ruuko glanced upwards to see his wings all bent against the wall, and he felt pain serge threw his body as he lifted his folded wings of the walls.
This must explain why I felt massive pain all through my body.... And the sudden pain in my wings....
Lost in thought, Ruuko didn't realize himself falling forwards to the ground, landing with a big thud. With his head spinning, Ruuko got up, shaking the dust of his scales before he glanced around the small room. There was one nest, obviously his own, and there were gaps in the walls were the sunlight came sparkling through. He must of ran into the war while he was asleep. Ruuko was lucky that no one else was in his den, otherwise he would of had to apologizes for waking them up. Letting out a large yawn, Ruuko trotted out of his den. As he padded through a small cave, his dream started to come back to him.
Hawkfire.... She wanted to tell me something.... but then she said I was too young... I was angry at her for no reason! Why was I angry!?

dark52 has moved my new story into the non Spyro section.... I doubt I will get readers now..... >.<

I guess I might have to change the snow leopards to dragons.....

Good parts

Wow, the dream was really long. Although I read all of it, and the next part, too.

I'll start to read your snow leopard story as soon as I can, Cynder_543. =3

Cool!

Ruuko padded through a large opening, and he didn't realized he bumped into Gaul. Ruuko swiftly bowed his head in forgiveness, but Gaul glared at him in return.
"There is no time for games. We have a meeting, as you can see." Gaul grumbled.
Ruuko bit back sharp report as he gazed around the clearing. Wild beasts stood together in large groups, nearly suffocating Ruuko. He rested his gaze on the built in cave walls around the clearing.
So much for exploring them...
Gaul's yowl for silence snapped him out of his thoughts. He picked his way around the beasts until he spotted Forest at the corner of his eye. Ruuko crawled under a large bat's wing, and he found himself sitting next to Forest, whose worm gaze rested upon him.
Gaul picked his way around the crowd until he stood infront a large rock at the other end of the clearing. Gaul heaved himself up the rock, with Sharpstorm standing on a puny rock next to him. Gaul raised his staff for silence, and the silent mummers died down in a heartbeat.
"As you can see, the purple dragon is still out there. He defeated Cynder and rescued all the guardians, which takes him a couple of steps closer to victory." Gaul began.
No one is questioning him about the eclipse... Maybe they all found out when the eclipse didn't come? I guess no one would dare question Gaul.
"That purple dragon will do anything to prevent Malefor from escaping his prison. One ape has spoke of the purple dragon knowing some sort of time element..."
Time?! Gaul never told me about that!
Ruuko shot a glance at Forest, and the questioning glare Forest gave him showed she is thinking the same thing.
"I never told anyone up to this point because I didn't want any ape or beast to worry. We must all stay strong, always."
Well... That answered my question.
"I have come up with a plan to slow down the purple dragon in his tracks."
Everyone leaned forward, and Ruuko could feel his paws tingling.
"I large group of apes, death hounds and bats will attack the temple at night. The Temple will be no more. If we can't destroy the purple dragon from the outside, then we shell destroy him from the inside. That way, he will be too crushed to go on. Besides, I'm sure Cynder will be there too. After all, the purple dragon did take her away."
Ruuko noticed Gaul taking a quick glance at him, and he felt embarrassment bubbling inside him.
"Are we all clear on what we're doing!?"
Loud yowls echoed around the clearing. Ruuko yowled along with them. He was glad that he might see his sister again. Next to him, Forest roared with agreement, but her eyes were strangely filled with fear.
What could be troubling her!? We're going to destroy the temple! The purple dragon's home! This should be great news to her!

Does this tie into the begining of TEN

Wow...that is so cool! =D I'm really enjoying this story.

Quote: Solister

Does this tie into the begining of TEN

Yup. This is when things get really interesting. :P

I really like your avatar Skyqueen. :D

"Ruuko and Sharpstorm will organize who will go." Gaul finished. He padded away to a small den built inside a wall.
Ruuko's tail twitched, and he felt Forest nudging him with her tail.
"Go on. Sit next to Sharpstorm."
Ruuko nodded and picked his way through the crowd. He let out a sharp breath as he sat next to Sharpstorm, who welcomed him. As soon as he sat on a small rock next to Sharpstorm, all the beast leaned forward, keeping very still, some not daring to breath.
Sharpstorm gazed around the crowd, than he rested his gaze upon a twitching Ruuko.
"I believe you should organize the patrols, Ruuko." Sharpstorm replied, flapping his wings.
"What!? Why!?" Ruuko stared at Sharpstorm.
Why must I take on a huge task!?
"You're taking on Cynder's role, right? This is good experience for the future." Sharpstorm flung the words over his shoulder as he flew into the crowd. "Trust me, young 'un. You can do this."
Sharpstorm's wise words echoed in Ruuko's mind, and he had to push them out in order to concentrate.
"Okay...." Ruuko gulped. He didn't know were to start! He glanced around the clearing. Everyone was silent, ready to listen to orders. However, he could hear uneasy mummers ripple through the beasts. Forest stared at him with pleading eyes, and Sharpstorm's heavy gaze rested on him. Ruuko knew he couldn't let anyone down, and courage suddenly burst inside him.
"Alright. There will be three large groups of warriors that will attack the temple. And two more groups for back up. Sharpstorm, you can lead one group. Brokentooth, you can lead another. And Bark, you can lead the third. You three shell lead a patrol to attack the Temple. Brokentooth, you shell take Shutter, Clawface, Sharp, Scratch, Glitternose, Wind, Vine, Flare, Darkfang, Fang, Snake and Weed. You will lead you patrol to the front of the temple, destroying it from there. You will attack any dragon who fights you, which includes the guardians. Yellow and Frost, you will go with them. Sharpstorm, you will chose your own warriors, and you will lead your patrol to the back of the Temple. Take only bats with you, and bring as much boulders as you can. Block any entrance that leads the the inside of the Temple, then continue on destroying it. Bark, you will take Death, Dew, Leaf, Smoke, Whisper, Oak, Jet, and Brokentail. You can chose the next three apes to take with you. Lead your warriors to the back of the temple, and you too will destroy the temple from the back. If any of the patrols see the purple dragon, destroy him, or at least trap him. Now, as for the other two patrols.... Blare, you will lead one. Take Forest, Cold, Slaughter, Teeth, Metal, Wood, Toad, Bramble, Braken, Sand and Dustfur. Lead your patrol to the entrance and hide. ONLY help the other patrol if necessary. We need a group of fresh warriors. Whitewater, you will lead the other. Take at least eight warriors with you. You will lead your group to the middle of the temple and hide. Fight only if necessary. Because there are already two large groups destroying the back of the temple, you only need a small amount. Everyone, attack the temple until you reach the very middle of the temple, then, retreat. Or, find the purple dragon, but only if your strong enough. The purple dragon has never faced something like this before, so we should be able to slow him down. Remember, if things don't turn out right, then RETREAT. Now, do you duties."
Ruuko felt out of breath when he finished his speech. Sharpstorm gazed at him, his eyes filled with approval. He spotted Forest padding up to him.
"What is it, Forest?" Ruuko asked.
"Ruuko... I'm just wondering if you could pick someone else to take my place. I.... I have a stomach ache, so I don't think I will be able to fight."
Ruuko narrowed his eyes. Forest didn't mentioned anything about a stomach ache before he gave out his speech. Why would she talk about it now? She scared?
Don't be such a fool! You don't want her to get killed out there! You're happy that she is backing out! Come one! Admit it!
"Okay.... Very well. Red will take your place then."
"Thank you.... Ruuko...." Forest dipped her head and padded away.
Ruuko flapped his wings in approval as the patrols marched out of the clearing. The other beasts who didn't get chosen were organizing themselves to go out hunting. Ruuko noitce one ape shivering right infront of him. His gaze rested on Ruuko, daring him to speak.
"Can I help you?" Ruuko felt the ape gulping in a large bunch of air.
"I.... I saw a black female dragon..... She looked like a younger version of you sister! She.. She's at the Temple! I just thought I might tell you." The ape chirped.
Hope flickered inside Ruuko's mind. Cynder is at the Temple! He must go there, now!
Ruuko nodded to the ape before he picked his way to a eating Forest.
"Forest, I want you to look after the remaining apes while I'm gone. Someone mentioned my sister at the Temple, and I MUST be there."
Forest nodded in approval and gulped down the last of her mouse.
"Be careful, Ruuko."

ooh, Good chapter

CHAPTER 13:

"Hey Spyro! Some night, huh? Beautiful." Yelled a golden coloured dragonfly. He picked his way towards a small purple dragon, who was lying on the ground. Spyro got up, his enormousness eyes gazing at the dragonfly.
"What is it you want, sparx?" Spyro mumbled.
Is there something wrong!?
Sparx stared at Spyro questioningly.
"Huh. Why do I have to want something? I’m just ready to begin the best day ever now that the evil-psycho-she-dragon is gone."
Sparx caught Spyro's attention now. Spyro eyes were filled with horror.
"What!? Cynder? What do you mean, Sparx!?"
Please don't let it be Cynder!
"Whoa! Calm down big fella. Gosh, you’re awfully tense. Hmm. Haven’t been sleeping much?" Sparx seemed like he was just toying with Spyro. He waved his hands in the air. "You should listen to Volteer tell one of his stories. They’ll put anyone to sleep."
"Sparx... What happened?" Spyro couldn't be patent with his yellow friend.
Cynder could be dieing while we talk!
"Okay, you ready? I get up to have some fresh air... Since I don’t sleep that many these days with ah... the female-of-fright hanging about. Low and behold... There she was, sneaking out into the garden!" Sparx paused before he continued on. "Oooohhh. She gives me the creeps dude. Hear my teeth." He began to shatter his teeth at Spyro.
"Come on. We have to find her. It’s dangerous for her to outside the Temple at night."
I must find out why! Whether you're coming or not!
"It’s dangerous for anyone of us to be outside at night. Besides. Ignitus said you have to wait till your powers return... cause you’re weak." Sparx couldn't hold in his laughter. It came out like a dog barking.
"No time to argue. Come on." Spyro flung the words over his shoulder as he padded into the temple.
"Ah, you’d be helpless without me. I better come with you."
